This week marks THE DAILY STANDARD's four year anniversary and, as you may have noticed, we've done a bit of an overhaul. In addition to the cosmetic changes is one big addition: the Worldwide Standard.

The Worldwide Standard is a foreign policy blog, edited by Daniel McKivergan and featuring contributions from William Kristol and the rest of the STANDARD staff. In the coming weeks you'll find that it a source of both the keen analysis you've come to expect from THE WEEKLY STANDARD and links to important stories and developments in the foreign policy world.

I hope you like the new look and enjoy the Worldwide Standard.
